CNN Don Lemon doesn't buy Wilson's apology and instead twists the discussion to make the statement the issue, rather than the health care question.

Mr. Lemon, Democrats not only booed, sat on their hands, jeered, they also publicly called the president a liar - MANY times. That should be an issue - a party whose members attack the president, the vice president, in ways that truly border on insurrection - not simply opposition. You forget all that Mr. Lemon. Perhaps you had your television on MSNBC during those years (I am sure they cut out those irresponsible, immature, hateful comments/statements/attacks).
The question is Mr. Lemon - is what Mr. Obama said true. And it is very close to being a flat out lie. The only reason it is not a lie is - illegals who have been here for 24 hours would be made legal - they could legally apply for work permits - and would therefore be covered by medical care.
Mr. Lemon, I will help you out. There are several issues; 1) Mr. Wilson was rude. He apologized. 2) Mr. Obama's statement - is a lie, and at the same time, makes a mockery of our immigration system by permitting anyone in the US for 24 hours to become legal residents. 3) Democrats booed Bush, called him a liar, said he was not legitimately the president, disrespected him and the office for his entire eight years.
You want to dwell on number 1, which is fine - obfuscating serious issues and instead misdirecting. The only people who cannot see what you are doing are morons - and most of them already vote for the Democrats.
Obama
